Speaking Quý 2.2024 ( September to December) by REAL EXAMSPART 1

Phần 1: always in use Topic 1: work and studies

1 Do you work or are you a student? Ver 1:

After I left school, I got a degree in nursing, and l've been working as a staff nurse for almost 10 years now

Currently, I'm working at Manilamed, one the best medical centres here in Manila As a staff nurse, I'm responsible for lots of different things such as preparing patients for examinations and surgery, observing and recording their conditions, measuring and recording their vital signs and weight, administering medications, preparing rooms, cleaning and disinfecting equipment and instruments, or assisting doctors during surgery Plus, every day I perform a wide range of tasks to provide care to my patients and resolve their problems For instance, I feed patients who cannot feed themselves, dress patients with physical challenges, help ambulatory patients walk, turn bedridden patients to prevent pressure sores, sometimes I have to transport patients You see, there's no such thing as a routine day in a hospital, and you just never know what to expect It's a very tough job, but I like it

Ver 2:I've been working as an English teacher for about 15 years now, and for the last 10 years l've specialized exclusively in teaching IELTS And I absolutely love what I do Of course, sometimes I feel tired and emotionally drain especially when I have to mark my students' essays midnight, but I just don't see myself doing anything O than teachingVer 3:

It's been a few years now since I started working full time.I work in Experiential Marketing and I absolutely love it because it's the type of job that really lets you utilize all of your talents One day you can be making a budget, and the next day you can be learning to use a drill because you need to drill holes in the floor It's very versatile It's for people who don't want to be the same as the day beforeVer 4:

Currently, I'm in my senior year of high school And I'm graduating this year Now I'm working hard in order to get passing grades 'cause l'm planning to study abroad I want to major in Journalism 'cause l've always had a strong passion for writing, and I don't see myself doing anything else And there's a great two-year diploma Journalism program at Seneca college in Canada So if everything is ok, 9 months from now I'll be studying there.

Ver 5:I neither work nor study At the moment I have a Bachelor's degree, and I'm planning toapply for a Master's degree as soon as I meet the requirements of the program It seems l've missed the boat for the fall semester, so l'll try not to miss the deadline for applying for the winter one

Ver 6:Neither Having worked for many years in the field of Advertising, I made a decision to make a career change and now that I have completed a program, I want to pursue a career in IT

2 Why did you choose that job?Well, I guess the primary reason why I decided to pursue a career in Finance was that Ireally loved Maths at school as I was always good at numbers And because of this, ! thought it was the only_possible choice I could make So it wasn't a tough decision.And, thank God, I have never regretted

it Ver 2:Back in the day when I was a high school student, had an idea that I might like to do something related to fashion, but my parents insisted on my choosing Accounting.Frankly, I wish I hadn't listened to them as I don't really enjoy being an accountant

3 (for people who love challenges) Do you like your job?Yeah I do What I love the most about my job is that it never gets boring Mainly because I have an opportunity to take on new challenges all the time, which I really like.In fact, the more challenging the task or the project, the more I like it You know, if I could do the work with my eyes closed, I swear I would die of boredom, and I would quit my job even though it pays really well So every time my boss gives me a new challenging task, I feel totally psyched You know, there is just something beautiful about encountering obstacles and finding ways to overcome them And then every timeI finish a difficult project or task successfully, I feel like l'm flying My confidence

skyrockets and I feel proud of myself, which helps me grow both professionally and personally, and expand my comfort zone

3.1 (for nurses) Do you like your job?Absolutely The most rewarding thing about being a nurse is making a difference in the lives of others, whether it be helping patients recover more quickly or helping them pass away as peacefully and comfortably as possible I find real satisfaction in providing good medical care and emotional support to patients (and oftentimes to their relatives)

3.2 (for nurses) Is there anything you dislike about your job?I'd rather say there are things that are really hard to manage or cope with The hardest thing about being a nurse is that you have to handle extremely high levels of stress 'cause, first of all, you have to deal with life and death every day Plus, you never know what's gonna happen in the next second And there's always someone who's

complaining about something Sometimes it feels like they're just trying to test the limitsof your patience

Also, you have to work long hours, work on weekends, holidays and during night shifts, which is also stressful and exhausting What's more, you spend most of the time

walking, standing, lifting and bending, sometimes moving heavy equipment It's a demanding job But despite all this, I don't think I could do anything but nursing now.3.3 (for people who have to deal with deadlines) What do you dislike about your job?The one thing I hate about my job is that I always have to work against the clock to meet deadlines Unrealistic deadlines And believe me, I know the difference between'unrealistic' and just 'challenging' So what I'm dreaming of now is a slower paced job 'cause l'd like to feel one step ahead, not constantly behind

3.4 (for people who have too much responsibility) What do you dislike about your job?The only thing I don't like is too much responsibility You know, I feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders And it's exhausting Of course, when I chose this job, I knew what I was getting into, but now I'm feeling so overwhelmed that I just wanna stop and shake my shoulders to get rid of this burden (for people who have too many responsibilities)

3.5 What do you dislike about your job?One thing that makes me feel unhappy is that I have too much on my_ plate these days And l've noticed that it has already started taking its toll on my work productivity

'cause having terrifyingly long to-do lists day by day does nothing but prevent me from focusing on tasks that are critical to the success of the company And the worst thing is that I don't feel comfortable delegating So I just continue carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, feeling stressed and exhausted all the time.

4 What do you like about your studies?I will probably sound a bit nerdy, but I'm happy that school provides me with an opportunity to acquire knowledge about things I didn't know before I guess that mostsubjects, we are taught, will help us to succeed in the future So I never miss lessonsand complete all the assignments on time

5 What do you dislike about your studies?As a high school student, I can safely say that I dislike school very strongly mainly because the teachers pile so much work onto us that we hardly get 5 hours of sleep a night during an average school week You see, no matter when I go to bed, I have to wake up early because my classes usually start at 8 am To top it off, most subjects areboring and irrelevant to our future careers So it causes a lot of stress, making me and my fellow students reluctant to study

Ver 2:Well, my pet hate is that the school curriculum doesn't take into account individual differences and capabilities of students All of us are different, but we are supposed to study the same subjects at the same pace Also, I don't like the fact that our

educational system relies heavily on teamwork Of course, I realise they're trying to teach us to collaborate, but I think it's unfair that everyone gets the same grade irrespective of how much each person has done

6 What was your dream job when you were young?Oh, when I was younger, I wanted to either become a CEO of a big company or be self-employed I was really sure that this would bring me an adequate remuneration and, as a result, a sense of satisfaction What is more, I understood that I was good at problem-solving and managing people, could take on responsibility and work under pressure, which was very important for pursuing such careers

7 Have you changed your mind on your dream job?Well, on the whole, 'no' as this is what I still dream about However, now I realize that thereare quite a lot of things in this career which I didn't think about at a younger age, for

example, the fact that working under pressure is robbing people of their life, takingthem from their families and pushing them to participate in the rat race in order to get recognition and good money

PART 2: September to DecemberTopic 1: First day at school

Describe your first day at school that you remember You should say:• what you remember and when it was

• how you felt about it• where the school was• why you remember this day

part 3 - 'Jobs, kids'

To be honest, my memories are too scattered 'cause it's been a while since my first dayof school But I do remember some of the things that happened to me during that day.I woke up early that morning and couldn't wait to put on my new school uniform I remember my mom helping me put on my backpack, which was filled with all sorts of new school supplies We walked to the school, which was just a few blocks away from our house I remember being a little nervous, but mostly I was just excited to finally be going to school like all the big kids

When we got to school, I remember lining up in the playground with all the other kids I remember feeling a little overwhelmed by all the new faces and all the noise Plus, I wasa little scared 'cause it was the first time that I was away from my parents for an

extended period of time During the day, I remember doing all sorts of fun things like learning the alphabet and playing with blocks I remember being so proud of myself when I was able + write my name for the first time I still remember that day so clearly because it was the start of my formal education and it was a really exciting time for me It was the start of my new journey

PART 3: SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2024Topic 26: Jobs, Kids

1 Is it better to work in big companies than in small ones?Well, whether it's better to work in a big or small company is subjective and depends on an individual's personal preferences and career goals Both big and small companies have their advantages and disadvantages Big companies typically offer more

resources, including financial, technical, and human resources, leading to a more stablework environment and better job security They often have more structured career pathsand a wider range of job opportunities, including opportunities for training and

professional development Additionally, big companies usually offer a wider range of benefits, such as health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off On the other hand, small companies may offer a more flexible work environment, with fewer layers ofbureaucracy and more relaxed and entrepreneurial cultures Employees in small

companies often have the opportunity to work closely with colleagues, have a direct impact on the company's success, and enjoy a better work-life balance Ultimately, it's important to research the company culture, benefits, and work arrangements before making a decision The right fit will depend on an individual's priorities and career aspirations Both big and small companies can offer exciting and rewarding career opportunities, it's just a matter of finding the right fit

2 What advantages and disadvantages come along with changing jobs?Changing jobs can be a big decision, and there are definitely pros and cons to consider.One of the biggest advantages is the potential for increased earning potential If you're looking to make more money, a new job can be a great way to do that Plus, it can also provide a chance for personal growth and development You can gain new skills and experiences that will help you advance your career But, on the flip side, adjusting to a new company culture can be tough You'll have to get used to new colleagues, new ways of doing things, and that can take some time Also, a new job may not offer the same level of job security as your old job, so you may need to be more proactive in building a professional network to ensure future job security And, of course, if your newjob doesn't offer the same benefits as your old job, you may have to pay more for healthcare, retirement savings, and other important benefits

3 What should parents prepare for their kids when they first go to school?When children start school, it is a crucial time for both parents and children, and it requires some preparations.

Firstly, parents should make sure that their children have all the necessary school supplies, such as a school bag, pencils, pens, notebooks, and other necessary items This is important because it helps children to be organized and prepared for their classes Secondly, parents should ensure that their children have the appropriate clothing for school, as many schools have dress codes or require students to wear a uniform It is essential to check with the school to make sure that the children have the appropriate clothes and footwear to comply with the school's regulations Thirdly, parents should familiarize their children with the school timetable, including start and end times, breaks, and lunchtime, to help the children develop a routine and

understand the importance of punctuality Parents should also teach their children about safety_ precautions and how to behave on the bus or during the journey if they will be taking any mode of transportation to school Additionally, social skills are important for children to interact with their classmates and teachers Parents can help their children by teaching them how to greet others, share, take turns, and resolve conflicts peacefully

Lastly, starting school can be an overwhelming experience for children, and parentsshould provide emotional support and encouragement to their children Theyshould listen to their concerns and fears and help them cope with any challengesthey may face

4 How do children socialize with each other?To my mind, children socialize with each other in a variety of ways, depending on their age, personality, and social context One of the most common ways children socialize isthrough playing together, whether it's at home, school, or in a park During play,

children engage in imaginative play, such as pretending to be superheroes, or games that involve physical activity, like tag or hide-and-seek These activities help children develop social skills such as taking turns, sharing, and cooperating Another way children socialize is through talking to each other They may engage in conversations about topics that interest them, such as their favorite books, movies, or video games, orshare stories about their experiences By conversing with their peers, children develop their communication and listening skills Additionally, children may collaborate on projects or share activities like drawing, painting, or playing music together These activities teach children to work together, appreciate each other's creativity, and develop their social skills Participating in sports or other extracurricular activities is alsoa way for children to socialize These activities can help them build friendships, learn to work together towards a common goal, and develop their teamwork and leadership skills

Finally, attending parties or social events is another way for children to socialize with

their peers in a fun and relaxed environment Social events like birthday parties or play dates allow children to interact with each other, make conversation, introduce

themselves, and make new friends In conclusion, there are many ways for children to socialize with each other, and each interaction provides an opportunity for them to develop important social skills that will serve them well throughout their lives

5 Is socialization important for children?Yes, socialization is crucial for children's development.Through socialization, children learn how to interact with others, communicate effectively, understand emotions and perspectives, and develop relationships These skills are essential for their future personal and professional lives Socialization helps children understand social norms and values and become familiar with different types ofbehavior and attitudes This knowledge helps them develop their own sense of identity and sense of belonging within society In addition, socialization plays a role in building achild's self-esteem and confidence as they learn to trust and rely on others Socializing with peers also helps children learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and compromise, which are valuable skills in many aspects of life On the other hand, insufficient socialization can lead to difficulties in forming relationships and

communication, as well as decreased emotional intelligence Overall, socialization is a key factor in a child's development and helps shape their future

6 Why do some people quit and change jobs?To my mind, There are several reasons why people decide to quit their jobs and look for new opportunities One common reason is the desire for career advancement.Many individuals seek jobs that offer better prospects for moving up the ladder and achieving their long-term goals

Another significant factor is the pursuit of a higher salary People often consider changing jobs if they believe they can earn more elsewhere, which can provide financialstability and a better quality of life Work-life balance also plays a crucial role

Nowadays, people value their personal time and want a job that allows them to strike ahealthier balance between work and life commitments A flexible schedule or reduced working hours can be enticing

Company culture is another key aspect Toxic or unsupportive work environments canbe mentally and emotionally draining, which prompts individuals to exploreworkplaces with a more positive atmosphere and a culture that aligns with theirvalues

Furthermore, the lack of recognition or appreciation at their current job can lead to dissatisfaction Many seek new opportunities where their contributions are

acknowledged and valued Personal factors like geographic relocation, health issues, and changes in life circumstances can also influence the decision to change jobs So, it's a mix of professional and personal considerations that drive people to take that step
